My favorite airport/terminal is: Istanbul (IST).
The second I get on a plane, I: Put my neck pillow on and plug in my Steam Deck.

My flying soundtrack is: Hot Since 82 Radio on Spotify.
My favorite thing about flying is: I'm good at sleeping on planes.
The worst part about flying is: sitting next to someone to that stinks.
My one flying hack is: If you're a business owner using Delta, make sure you have Skybonus for Business set up to gather status for flights you book for employees including yourself.
The second I land, I: call people I needed to call while only on WiFi in the air.
As soon as I check into my hotel room, I: go to the gym.
My favorite hotel in the world is: The St. Regis in Dubai.
My favorite city in the world is: Rome.
A concierge will know that I prefer: private drivers if I'm overseas trying to site-see.
I conquer jetlag by: not sleeping.
My biggest piece of travel advice is: if someone is giving you unwanted attention while you are out and alone, jump on FaceTime video with someone and just figure out things to talk about so you're not totally alone. I did this at a restaurant in Tunis, Tunisia and it saved me since I had to walk back up Sidi Bou Said alone after dinner.
